ABSTRACT
A mathematical model is derived for estimating the value of producer milk from market prices of Cheddar cheese and its associated by-products, butter and whey powder. With the formula one can compute the cheesemaking value of any selected producer's milk or the aggregate milk supply with protein and fat differentials. The yield factors are first derived and then coupled with market prices to estimate producer milk values.
The potential value and the limitations of the model are discussed.
